Stadiums and arenas are where the action happens. To give spectators a truly immersive experience, the venue needs the right audio and visual technology throughout. HARMAN is the partner who can do it all, including stunning architectural lighting outside the facility, clear and powerful audio and lighting in the bowl, digital signage in guest suites, and a continued, connected experience in back of house areas. HARMAN also has a unique method of configuring, programming, and controlling distributed audio systems using either AVB, CobraNet®, Dante™, or HARMAN's own BLU link – a unified strategy known as "ABCD". While HiQnet Audio Architect™ software manages the audio system, AMX's Rapid Project Maker (RPM) and Resource Management Suite (RMS) software handles the setup, configuration and maintenance of guest suites. With HARMAN, stadium operators can easily manage audio, video, control and lighting so they can focus on the real objective: Impressing visitors.

Bowl audio is at the crux of the entertainment provided by the venue. Stadium owners are always looking for ways for their guests to appreciate the premium price they are paying to actively partake in the experience rather than passively observing from home on the couch. While the central focus of the experience may be what's on the field, having robust, impactful audio at every seat is crucial to creating an immersive experience spectators cannot get anywhere else. Your spectators may not know it, but HARMAN is a veteran that has been in the game far longer than their favorite player. From industry-leading line array loudspeakers and amplifiers, to incredibly flexible processing and control, HARMAN always gives 110%.

Audio is but one key component of the immersive experience that thrills visitors in a stadium or arena; they also enjoy a visual experience that supports the action on the field and provides a stimulating ambiance. HARMAN offers lighting solutions that enhance the entire experience, from architectural lighting that turns the outside of the stadium into a work of art to dynamic bowl and special event lighting solutions that include flexible and customizable flood, linear, and image projection lighting and associated lighting controllers.

Martin Exterior Lighting offers dynamic lighting solutions such as flood, linear, image projection and more, along with the control solutions that make your stadium or arena shine.

Martin Professional offers everything you need to create the right atmosphere, including professional lighting systems, fog generators and controllers.

The Martin M6 Console is a state-of-the-art lighting console that functions as a highly advanced visual control surface that’s designed to control everything from conventional and moving lights to the most advanced media server.


The entertainment may reside in the bowl, but each guest will spend a large amount of time in the back of house. Concessions, restrooms, and souvenir shops make the back of house experience an active part of the show – it's much more than an entrance and exit. Appropriately designed back of house audio, including paging and background music, can be difficult to achieve given the architectural acoustics of the building, which is why Harman has an incredible range of loudspeaker options and accompanying audio processing to allow for seamless – but not lifeless – transition from the bowl to the back of house. Visitors who wait in line for concessions and souvenirs expect to stay on top of the action on the field, which is why HARMAN digital signage and video distribution solutions are ideal for streaming the action or spreading the message. HARMAN can help make the entire building part of the experience.

BACK OF HOUSE

K E Y H A R M A N P R O D U C T SJBL Professional offers a wide range of premium, in-ceiling, specialty loudspeakers that combine outstanding pattern control and consistent coverage with superior sonic performance.

BSS Audio Soundweb Contrio Wall Controllers make it simple to customize the audio profile in different areas or zones. These

advanced, yet approachable, POE wall controllers streamline the controls you need, where you need them, without exposing controls that should remain hidden from the everyday operator.

Martin Professional LED

grids are useful in creating customized

LED video solutions with maximum artistic flexibility and a minimum of effort. Their compact size makes them extremely suitable for integration into creative ceilings, stage designs, set elements, lobbies and much more.


Suites are where you cater to your VIP visitors. These spaces need the flexibility to allow guests to interact in a variety of ways, including watching other events on displays during the event or even conducting a business meeting during halftime. AMX by HARMAN is an industry leader at providing the systems that make it simple for visitors to take control of their environment, including control panels that allow them to select what they view on the displays, presentation switchers that manage the behind-the-scenes audio and video switching, and devices that allow visitors to connect laptops and other devices and view content on the displays.
